The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

I trust you

Even though Miss Grace could see the pain in her daughter‘s eyes, she ignored it and informed her with a smile, “The guys are leaving, and they want to see you before they leave.” Sniffing away the tears that were forming in her eyes, a look of shock spread across Peach‘s face before she cleared her throat and asked, “They are leaving…? Where to? Why?!”

The two had not told Miss Grace anything either, and she just shrugged her shoulder and replied, “That I don‘t know,”

“Elijah too?!” Peach blurted out before she could get a grip on her tongue.

After the conversation her mother and she just had, Peach felt a sudden sense of awkwardness, but Miss Grace only smiled and said, “It‘s only Ryan and Rookie.” “Oh,” Peach said quietly, looking down at her lap.

After a few minutes of silence passed by, Miss Grace patted her hand and said, “Freshen up and come downstairs because they won‘t leave without saying ‘goodbye‘ to you?”

As they stood in the lobby of the hotel, Rookie eyed Ryan, Matt, and James before focusing on Elijah.

The silence among them was just so

uncomfortable and awkward, and he finally mumbled, “I will start working on making the video disappear from the Internet, the moment we get to the hotel, and I get my hands on all my equipment…”

“But you can‘t get it out of the minds of the people that have watched it… With a title like,‘ Melina‘s ex–husband and his mistress, get confronted by her best friend,‘ there‘s no way around it,”

A sense of annoyance spiked in Matt as he blurted out, “Are we just going to let these absurd rumors continue.”

Sighing, Elijah shoved his hands into his pocket and mumbled, “Revenge isn‘t something that happens overnight. But I can promise you that Melina will get what‘s coming to her once I make sure everyone knows what kind of woman she is.”

The footsteps coming from inside the hallway made all five men seal their lips and looked over at the entrance to see Peach and Miss Grace, a couple of minutes later, walking into the lobby. When she rested her gaze on them, Peach pouted and cried, “Ryan, Rookie, why are you guys leaving?”

Both men‘s expressions immediately softened, and they smiled at her softly. Walking over to where Peach and Miss Grace stood, Ryan and Rookie pulled both women into a hug, before releasing them.

“It‘s for a one–month business trip. We will soon be back,” Ryan explained to her.

every ounce of self–control to keep himself away from her until he could leave the motel. As Peach stood outside the building, feeling the cold wind blow against her cheeks, her tears started streaming down her face again. She wiped them furiously with the back of her hand and sniffled as she stared at her shoes. “You need to forget about him, Peach… he‘s never going to see you as a woman… ” she whispered to herself, her voice shaking as she continued, “Elijah is never going to see
